Figures he’s on a scooter. Clooney will be never be confused with say......Steve McQueen.
Yes, I know my screename is Vespa300 but let the record show.......I ride a KLR 650 and in California at our vacation condo, I keep a KTM Duke 390. The KTM can cruise at 80, hit over 100, it’s perfect in my small garage and I can split lanes all day long. It’s legal in California.....(for some reason) So there.
Definitely agree that Clooney is no Steve McQueen. But having lived in Europe I can vouch that scooters are often the best choice for the narrow streets and no parking they deal with over there.
I always had a car but I would have tons of scooters swarming around me at all times. At first I was agitated, every time I needed to make a turn I would stress out about the scooters. Then at some point I came to a conclusion: I'm going to hit one of them at some point, it's unavoidable so stop stressing, if today is that day then so be it. And in that moment scooter drivers everywhere sensed a disturbance in the force. They somehow knew to take more care around me. They no longer passed me on the right when my right signal was on while approaching a corner. They somehow just knew that I had entered a different plane of driving existence and they gave me due respect. And from that day, I never came close to hitting another scooter. Strange but true.
He was on a fairly large Yamaha, and can be seen on it in other photos from Europe. He’s an experienced rider with a collection of classic bikes. Seen in So Cal frequently on a Harley.
Looks like he was distracted or confused, and at his age might not want to accept that his reflexes are declining.
Or maybe God just missed...
